PROGRAMMING QUICK TALK TRANSMITTER FREQUENCY

What is my Radio System Frequency? Ritron pioneered the Color
Dot system to simplify the identification of radio system frequencies for
Ritron Jobcom radios. Color Dots are placed on the bottoms of and
inside the enclosures of all Jobcom radios. Other manufacturers have
also adopted this idea.
Do I need to program the Quick Talk transmitter frequency? The
original factory-programmed transmitter frequency of your Quick Talk
is marked on the outside of the shipping box, and is also indicated by
a color dot on the inside the unit case. If the Quick Talk frequency
matches your radio system frequency, and if the Quick Talk has not
been reprogrammed since it left the factory, skip this section and
proceed to the next.
If the radios do not have a color dot, identify your frequency on the
radio label that identifies receiver frequency in megahertz (MHz). Your
assigned frequency is also shown on your F.C.C. Station License. If
you cannot determine radio receiver frequency, call Ritron or your
radio dealer for help.
TO PROGRAM THE QUICK TALK TRANSMITTER FREQUENCY:
a. Determine your radio system frequency (above).
b. Find this frequency in the appropriate table at right, then
determine its corresponding two-digit code. If your radio
system frequency is not in the chart, your Quick Talk must be
programmed by a radio dealer or by Ritron.
c. Pick up the telephone receiver, and listen for the acknowledge
tone. Dial "11", then the digits of the frequency code selected
from the table.
EXAMPLES: If the Quick Talk is a VHF RQT-150 model,
and the radios operate on 154.570 MHz
(Blue Dot frequency), dial "1102".
If the Quick Talk is a UHF RQT-450 model,
and the radios operate on 467.9250 MHz
(Blue Star frequency), dial "1108".
d. Quick Talk responds with a single beep to indicate it has
programmed the transmitter frequency.
e. You may either hang up or continue programming.
NOTES: If you make a dialing mistake while programming, hang
up the telephone handset, then pick it up and dial again.
If the Quick Talk frequency has been reprogrammed, to
alleviate later mistakes, remove the Color Dot from
inside the case.
What the Tones (Beeps) in Your Earpiece Mean:
•
A series of three short tones cues you to begin recording a
message.
•
A single brief tone means your command is accepted and
stored.
•
A series of long repeating tones means your command was not
understood; hang up and dial again.
NOTE:
see page 7 to set FREQUENCIES NOT SHOWN in the above charts.
